        is there an sd image with video preview for download?
        i can´t compile by myself ;(

        SSH to Pi and execute the following commands:

        # install packages
        sudo apt-get update
        sudo apt-get --yes install vim vlc libvlc-dev libvlc5
        
        # get and compile
        git clone https://github.com/fieldofcows/EmulationStation.git
        cd EmulationStation/
        cmake . -DFREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIRS=/usr/include/freetype2/
        make clean
        make
        
        # auto start video emulatorstation
        sudo sed -i 's/\/.*emulationstation\.sh/\/home\/pi\/EmulationStation\/emulationstation\.sh/' /usr/bin/emulationstation

          Well, I've spent whatever free time I've had sorting out my repository and splitting each 'feature' into a separate branch. That process isn't quite complete yet. I am going to submit some of the changes as PR's to the RetroPie fork and see what happens. I haven't had any feedback from anyone trying out the Pi build so maybe there's not that much interest - or everyone is waiting until it is in an 'official' build.

          Once I've done that I'll get back to developing some more features and fixing some bugs.

          Do you have a Windows version wishlist? I assume metadata fixes would be on top :)

            @fieldofcows yes i've posted some wishes post ago... but i'll let you concentrate in your splitting process.

            I was painting my house so not much time to work on theme.

            I've finished gb theme and working on gbc theme, but i'll upload new theme version when more systems added.

                New little update for oldroom theme:

                • added Game boy system.
                • added Game boy Color system. (I need better gbc image for this theme).
                • Fixed detailed view.

                Somebody have a Game boy Color and can make a photo holding it in his hand?

                Now detailed view looks this way :

                alt text

                1080p version: http://www.mediafire.com/file/vvylrsgh8waqkkk/oldroom_1.7_1080p.zip

                Sorry @fieldofcows this time i didn't have time to provide an 800x600 fix but i'll do soon.

                I can't make work marquee on top of "rating" on detailed view, i'm not sure if can't be possible on detailed view or it's my fault.

                Enjoy.

                  @Nismo @fieldofcows How hard would this be to implement for other themes for example to Pixels by @Rookervik ?

                  I mean you don't have to change much just an option to replace the picture with an video if that exists and if not just show the screenshot/boxart?

                  Or are there more underlying changes that have to be made?

                    @Rion i'ts not difficult.

                    You can show video and image at same time if you want, that's what i do in my theme, but instead use an screenshot for image i use boxart.

                    Maybe if @Rookervik give me permission i can take a look at the theme and adapt it for video support.

                    Or maybe he want to do it himself... who knows.

                                Hello,

                                I wrote a small test script. To create gamelist.xml for Video ES. Download 3D box art, marquee and videos from http://screenscraper.fr

                                All systems of oldrom theme, are supported and FinalBurn Alpha.

                                It still has many bugs. If anyone is interested ...

                                  @Nismo Pixel Video theme works pretty well, but for some reason I get a blue tinge on the videos - they are the same videos used in the oldroom theme, where they look okay and don't have the blue tinge.

                                  Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

                                  Thanks!

                                      That's interesting. It might be a bug in the video playback. I'll check. What are you running it on? RPi, Windows or Linux?

                                          @fieldofcows Hi, I'm running on an rpi3. Might be to do with the video encoding, I'll try some others.

                                            @GtBFilms It is indeed a bug that only shows on the RPi - a problem with the opacity of the video. Well caught! I've got a fix which I will commit shortly.
